The Mower To The Glow-worms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHJ

Ye living lamps by whose dear lightA
The nightingale does sit so lateB
And studying all the summer nightA
Her matchless songs does meditateB
-
Ye county comets that portendC
No war nor prince's funeralD
Shining unto no higher endC
Than to presage the grass's fallE
-
Ye glow worms whose officious flameF
To wand'ring mowers shows the wayG
That in the night have lost their aimF
And after foolish fires do strayG
-
Your courteous lights in vain you wasteH
Since Juliana here is comeI
For she my mind hath so displac'dH
That I shall never find my homeJ
